All the time - I am happy to rely on my team to help out in those situations. I'm usually nearby in case, but I've been known to sit with students or classes in order to get the right person for the...
I could be wrong, but isn't the person who diagnoses the one who reports to the health department? If you were the first one to assess and suspect then you would be the one to contact the health dept...

Howwwwl! Awooooooooooo!!!! The moon in the morning against the bright blue morning sky has been an amazing view, though. Gorgeous! Yep! It is a little nutty today. A little nuttier than I am...
I get the offensive poopers all day long - the ones who get in trouble in the gang restrooms and have to go solo. Sounds like a bonus to me - I have a bathroom door. Some of ours have no stall...
Bandaids of various sizes, carmex, cotton swabs for applying the carmex, tissues, trash bag, barf bag. Depending on the grade I add a couple of masks for the asthmatics (like when they went to the...
